Abstract

Abstract How do racial group attitudes shape the political preferences of Black and white evangelicals? Scholarship has documented the relationship between religion and race in shaping political behavior and attitudes. However, less is known about how in-group and out-group racial attitudes operate within religious populations. Using samples of Black and white evangelicals from the 2012 and 2016 American National Election Studies, we explore the role of racial identity centrality and racial resentment in determining evangelicals' political preferences. While the role of Black and white identity among evangelicals is minimal, we find strong and consistent conservatizing effects for racial resentment. Together these findings suggest that the evangelical racial divide is not driven by Black evangelicals' attachment to their racial identity, but that racial resentment may drive white evangelicals to more conservative political preferences.

黑人和白人福音派教徒的种族态度和政治偏好

种族群体的态度如何影响黑人和白人福音派的政治偏好?学术研究记录了宗教和种族在塑造政治行为和态度方面的关系。然而，对于群体内和群体外的种族态度在宗教人群中是如何运作的，人们知之甚少。利用2012年和2016年美国全国选举研究中的黑人和白人福音派样本，我们探讨了种族身份中心和种族怨恨在决定福音派政治偏好中的作用。虽然黑人和白人身份在福音派中所起的作用很小，但我们发现，对于种族怨恨，保守主义有着强烈而持续的影响。综上所述，这些发现表明，福音派的种族分歧并非由黑人福音派信徒对其种族身份的依恋所驱动，而是种族怨恨可能会驱使白人福音派信徒倾向于更保守的政治倾向。

期刊介绍： Politics and Religion is an international journal publishing high quality peer-reviewed research on the multifaceted relationship between religion and politics around the world. The scope of published work is intentionally broad and we invite innovative work from all methodological approaches in the major subfields of political science, including international relations, American politics, comparative politics, and political theory, that seeks to improve our understanding of religion’s role in some aspect of world politics. The Editors invite normative and empirical investigations of the public representation of religion, the religious and political institutions that shape religious presence in the public square, and the role of religion in shaping citizenship, broadly considered, as well as pieces that attempt to advance our methodological tools for examining religious influence in political life.
